Just Copy the folder with all your music onto the new PC, and then show Itunes where the library is on the new PC. I have all mine on an external drive, I would advise getting one, it will save you a lot of headaches.

I just figured out how to use the home share thing, and its working like a charm

I use that a lot. I keep most music on my main desktop and just allow the laptops to share into itunes. No sense having multiply copies of the same songs all over the place.

I would like to setup a network shared HD though eventually and eliminate the need for the desktop to share.

My Server is basically that, just a big ass NAS with 4 terabites.

FTFMW! Only 2 TB here.... I need to get a NAS with at least RAID 5 capabilities though; eggs, one basket and all that.

Network hard drives are sick. I may have to get one before I quit Best Buy.

A buddy of mine who does IT for denon keeps telling me his guys swear NAT drives just aren't there yet. Of course this was a year ago I lasted asked about them.

You mean NAS drives? and Yea they really aren't they are good for small home networks, other than that...well just build a server. Gig lan doesn't hurt either.
